Cutting through cynicism: Why are community-level environmental campaigns so effective?
The debate around individual choices versus action from nations and big businesses has been ongoing in the environmental space for decades. But, increasingly, campaigns that are somewhere in the middle, at community level, are leading the way when it comes to getting results.
Community campaigns can cover all manner of environmental topics, from habitat creation and restoration to phasing out plastics and lobbying for stronger climate policy
A quick Google search of the term ‘individual action on the environment’ yields thousands of studies and opinion pieces with contradictory conclusions. “Individuals Can’t Solve the Climate Crisis”, one piece in the Guardian states, while another, hosted by the Sierra Club, states that “Yes, Actually, Individual Responsibility is Essential”.

Q: Patagonia has a history of values-driven innovation. Where did that start?
Yvon Chouinard started making climbing equipment in his parents’ backyard when he was still a teenager. When he and his friends began pioneering big wall climbs in Yosemite in the ’60s, almost all climbing equipment was imported from Europe. Pitons, metal spikes that climbers used to establish protection, were made out of soft iron that could only be used once or twice. That was fine on shorter routes, but for long climbs like the ones at Yosemite, you would need to carry a huge supply. Yvon’s innovation was the hard steel piton that could be hammered in, then tapped out and reused time and time again.
Yvon Chouinard’s rock climbing brand Patagonia advised customers ‘not to expect fast delivery during climbing season’
Yvon Chouinard’s ‘Let My People Go Surfing’ is probably my favourite book. He founded clothing and rock climbing brand Patagonia, whose 1964 mail-order catalogue advised customers “not to expect fast delivery during climbing season” because Chouinard and his colleagues would be 1,000 ft high in Yosemite National Park.
His ethos is about “doing things better, with great adventures in mind” and looks to challenge quick consumption, which is one of the main causes of our global ecological crisis. While we at Dash Water would love to go out for a mid-afternoon surf it’s less straightforward from our London office.
